Liza Treyger

Liza Treyger is from the former Soviet Union, where jokes aren't allowed. So she moved to Chicago, where she continues to tell jokes to this very day. Creator and co-producer of one of Chicago's most loved weekly showcases, Riot Comedy, Liza was one of only 10 Comics selected out of hundreds by Comedy Central for their prestigious Comics to Watch showcase at this year’s NY Comedy Festival. She was booked based on that performance to perform in the America Stands Up showcase as part of the Glasgow Comedy Festival this past April. She also recently handpicked by Jeff Garlin to perform in his Winter Comedy Arts Festival in March in Michigan, and was recently selected to perform on the new Comedy Central TV series Adam DeVine’s House Party. To this day, Russia still thinks that Liza just went out for a pack of smokes.
